This is my first Community Fortress! I'm playing vanilla DF, currently 31.03 but I will be switching to the new versions as they come out if they are save-compatible. 

The world we will be playing on is Athira Ametha; The Plane of Winds

You may notice that we have 10000 embark points to spend. This is for several reasons, the most important reason being so that we can bring many animals to breed and butcher for food so that our dwarves don't starve. One effect of this is that you may spend 5 of the 10 points as you wish--unless you wish to be a fisherdwarf. That's not going to happen. 
In addition, you may choose some items to bring along!

Since I've heard about an 'acid rain' bug and we're embarking in a scorching biome, I'm turning the weather OFF...

Spoiler: Summary (click to show/hide)

Granite, 1050. Ziril is summoned by a royal guard, and is led to Mafol Bronzevale, the General.

[elizar]

I think I'll take Rimtar Kelcagith. Rename her Skuld. Spend her points to make her stonecrafting skill even better with a dash of engraving. If that is not allowed, make it engraving and other creative stuff such as carpentry or masonry.

What she would like to bring from the mountainhome is native silver rocks, which she'll use to make crafts, toys or instruments, which are not to be traded away. Hopefully she'll in time claim ownership of those crafts, toys and instruments.

Having Great Creativity and Fertile Imagination may make some interesting crafts or engravings.

[Mekboy]

I'll claim Rodvok and make him the mechanic. Call him Mekboy. Put the rest of the points into masonry (I firmly believe in two starting masons. Plus it means I can build stuff).

Bring microline blocks. They're pretty.

Have me build some ridiculous traps and defences (Lava filled airlocks to stop intruders, collapsing floors et.c.).

As for the fortress name: Sedishmulash Bidok, The infamous confederacy of acting.

[Faden]

Ah, the fortress name is Akamrovod, but it sounds good to me as the Group name.

[TALLPANZER]

I would like Mosus Kerliglibash, give him the name Black-Hat and make him the Butcher.
1 point in Animal training, 2 points in Animal care, 1 point in milking, and 1 point in cheese making.

I would like two bulls, two cows, ten buckets, ten barrels, and four wooden logs
I'll start a fine ranch for grade a beef and fine cheese.

[Faden]

I would like two bulls, two cows,

With 10000 available points, you are getting ten cows and ten bulls. What's more, you can decide which ones get the axe!
Skill up! Animal husbandry!

The traits that will be selectively bred into the other animal populations will be decided by the fortress as a whole.

[Tarran]

Just posting to tell you something, I embarked on a mountain once, it lead to less Cavern+Magma Sea Z-levels.

Watching until I feel like joining.

[TALLPANZER]

I'll breed 'em big and fat, with good tough hide! I hope get a good tanner, I want nice boots for my work ^_~

[Faden]

Actually, I made a parallel save before I embarked, to make sure I wanted to play there. I didn't dig, but I watched the water (It didn't dry up! I still didn't see any fish, though.) and counted the z-levels; There are 119 Z-levels to the top of the mountain from the forested area, and 129 z-levels below the forested area. 

Also, Unicorns!
And Skeletons!

[TALLPANZER]

Also, Unicorns!

was all I really saw, and my first thought was Unicorn cheese.

[Faden]

I too, share that dream... We just have to survive and get a dungeon master...

[Faden]

Y'know what? I'm choosing a character now so that we don't get stuck with an expedition leader who likes Adamantine. *Shudder*
I choose Reg Gusgashsigun, and will name her Ziril. I'll wait to assign any skills to her until everyone else gets a dwarf.

From the diary of Ziril Gusgashsigun, Granite 1st, 1050

I was watching the Thespian Societies production of "Little Urist and the Cheesecake Factory" at the time. It had just reached the end of the second act; two of the five children had been involved in "unfortunate accidents" and it was now time for the intermission. As my friends discussed the low production value of the play, and various mishaps therein, I headed towards the concession stand.

That was a mistake.

As I waited in line, a dwarf wearing exotic red clothing approached me, and said that I would be joining The Infamous Confederacy of Acting.

At first I was perplexed. Why was I being conscripted into a theater group?

As he turned and walked away, motioning for me to follow him, I saw the royal insignia sewn onto his cloak.

[Purple Mage]

I'll take Ablel renamed to Magia as a miner with the rest of my points in  clothier, dyer, gem setter, weaver, and gem cutter(one of each). Think amateur costume designer.
I'll bring cloth of any type along with some dye and a few gems.
